Cutest Show Ever! I could use a lesson or two from Wombat.

This show is very educational for kids. It promote ideas of living your life into the fullest extend. As a grown adult, I could use a lesson of two from Wombat. She is super smart. She's more of a genius. She even knows more than me. That explains why she say big words such as Abnormal, Weald, Subpar and more. Chumpkins is as intellegant as Wombat and knows to the fullest extent of technology. He's one tech pig. P.King may not be the brightest of the bunch, but he is very ambitious toward what he wants to do in his life and it is what important in life. P.King has taught us a very crucial lesson most other kids show characters would not teach them about. It's called succeeding in life. By the way, Wombat look so adorable in her cute outfits, especially when she wore lipstick sometimes.

Kids say (1):

From decorating the Eiffel Tower to upcycling garbage into cutting-edge fashion, this lighthearted Chinese-American series shows how creative thinking can help overcome challenges. P. King Duckling helps kids learn that working with friends makes many things easier -- and a lot more fun. The way the series presents these ideas in the narrative is more entertaining than educational, but it still delivers some positive messages that young kids will pick up on. Overall, P. King Duckling is a fun show that preschoolers can enjoy.
